Memorial Book for the franchise as a whole is out. It contains a KuMeYu bonus LN detailing what the Sentinels did during the last battle in YnS, YnS and WaSuYu illustrations, a summary of the universe's history that comes with a yet unreleased illustration and a new staff interview.

YuYuYui Fanbook was announced, will be released in spring, but no specific date was announced.

A Spin-off story was confirmed for the mobage, not date is specified yet.

>>2811409You can use those new ticket items to auto-clear a stage you already cleared before, but it only works on stages with the new symbol on it. But doing so will take the full stamina cost and you won't get friend points, friend taisha point bonuses or rank-up exp, so it's really only worth it if you're very short on time.

https://mega.nz/#F!pLgSiQaA!iYcUB77vcubUH0KSgmf-nASince it's Chikage's birthday, I have a present to deliver.I made an epub version of NoWaYu, which is similar to the pdf version (with hero diary at the start and ShiUYu at the end) except that I went through it and fixed all the typos that I could find. I haven't made any major changes but I fixed stuff like:>name of the person speaking is wrong>Chikage calling Takashima "Yuuna-san" for nor reason>an invasion of Suwa was was inevitable>On the w On the way, they met a woman>she could still saw Hinata’s faceAnd other mistakes like that.I'm not sure I fixed everything, so if you use this in the future and find a mistake please post it here and I'll fix it.

>>2814317The KuMeYus aren't worth the effort that piece of shit chart gives them. If someone is actually gonna go through the effort of switching between installments, it works much better with WaSuYu and S1.

Hey, you've always been by my sideAnd helped me out, haven't you?I think all of you knewWhen I was holding back tears

That's right, no matter how much girl power you haveSometimes there are walls you can't overcome

I want to tell you, I want to tell youThat I'm always gratefulAnd even if I'm not of much useI hope we'll always, alwaysStick togetherI'm not sure how to show these feelings to youHere's all my love for you

You helped me find new motivationBut everyone's different when it comes to getting back on trackSo you tried making me mad on purposeOr quietly watching over me

I know, you have a lot on our plateYou all have some burden to bearAnd still you open your heart to meJust like that

I want to shout, I want to shoutThat I'll always love youThis warmth will give me strengthSo that one day, one dayI'll be someone you can count onAnd even if you smile and tell me that I already amI want to become stronger, love for you

I want to tell you, I want to tell youThat I'm always gratefulAnd even if I'm not of much useI hope we'll always, alwaysStick togetherI'm not sure how to show these feelings to youHere's all my love for you

>>2816564that doesn't mean the game is dead, Yuusha SoL is part of the appeal of the series, and people's love for the characters is part of what keeps them enjoying the mobage.I want an LN like most people do, but I'm enjoying yuyuyui and I'm glad it's not dead.

>>2816641I liked how she ruined Sonoko's plan by putting it on quarantine.I hope she keeps protecting the Yuushas, Mikos and KuMeYus equally from those Shinju-sama impostors.I wonder what kind of punishments would Aya have done to them if she were to discover that they impersonated Shinju-sama.

>>2817215They're not as popular as the other groups, but they're still popular enough, especially Mebuki and Aya.Even Shizuku got a good amount of fanart for her birthday despite being only one day after Chikage's.

>>2817461Hanayui chapter will end sometime between late March and June and will be followed by 'a spin off that comes after', that's mostly all the concrete evidence we have apart from the data miner revealing that there will be Sekka only stages and be association most likely Natsume only stages too. Saying that the 'main story' is ending makes it sound like the game's storyline as a whole is ending, and from the data we have that doesn't seem to be the case, nor would it make any sense when we know that the game is continuing past June and adding at least one and most likely two playable characters, one of who hasn't been introduced yet.

>>2817473That's just semantics. Hanayui no Shou is the main story of Hanayui no Kirameki, and that one is ending now. There are several other Shous in the game, but those are listed as separate stories and not part of Hanayui no Shou. Whatever they introduce next will be treated as separate from the main story as well.>Hanayui chapter will end sometime between late March and JuneWas that confirmed?

>>2817486I don't think you quite understand what I'm saying. Since we know that the next story is a 'spin off' of Hanayui Chapter and is almost guaranteed to be set in the YuYuYui world somehow or another thanks to the nature of the game and the future introduction of Renge, and will presumably have at least some semblance of a plot, the YuYuYui story will continue. If the YuYuYui story continues then the main game story is continuing whether it's listed under the Hanayui Chapter name or a new chapter name.

The next Hanayui chapter is coming out sometime after all of the Hanayui Chapter expert stages have been released according to the data miner and the 'spin off' is scheduled to come out in June, so it will finish sometime between those dates.

>>2817473>adding at least one and most likely two playable characters>>2817521>is almost guaranteed to be set in the YuYuYui world>future introduction of Renge>The next Hanayui chapter is coming out sometime after all of the Hanayui Chapter expert stages have been releasedWhat do you base all of this on? The dataminer never posted anything that would indicate that here and the official staff only said the main story will end very soon and a new one will start around the anniversary.

>>2817815Akamine's gacha name graphic was added to the game's data the same time as the KuMeYus (and the new stage skip tickets, they took a long time to implement them), she'll be playable. Renge isn't 100% confirmed yet, but with the amount of build up she's been getting along with only March and October left having a single character only birthday, Akamine undoubtedly taking one month, the chances of her not being introduced are next to none. I'd assume since Akamine has suddenly appeared in an event that her birthday is next month.https://imgur.com/a/MxLkiy2

Basic gacha logic, if they create new chapters and events that automatically exclude at least half of the cast then they're insane. The whole point of the game is to have the characters interact with each other across time, if half of the cast is in one era and the other half is in another and fragmented then they can't do much with them. Also, if there's an October birthday then logically the new birthday girl will get one birthday event with everyone, and we know that Hanayui Chapter will finish before the second anniversary, so they have to stay there past June.

The data miner doesn't like this place, these days he posts on Discord.

>>2817820But I still don't see why you say Hanayui no Shou will end between March and June and only after the expert stages are out, did they release a schedule for that?>Basic gacha logic, if they create new chapters and events that automatically exclude at least half of the cast then they're insane.But isn't it confirmed they're preparing Sekka only stages? And the regular events would still feature the whole cast.>The data miner doesn't like this place, these days he posts on Discord.It's probably better that way after his cartel escapades, it's the last thing we need.

>>2817828The data miner says that the next chapter is coming out after all the expert stages have been released.

Let me rephrase that: if they ONLY create new chapters and events that automatically exclude at least half of the cast then they're insane. There's always been some limited cast chapters and stages, but never to the exclusion of group events and Hanayui and it's generally only been retreads of stories that are already out in other formats, nothing really important like the replacement for Hanayui Chapter.

The stories also always had at least two main characters to interact. When you consider that Sekka and Natsume had no other Heroes or mikos to talk to, their chapters are going to be very limited in interactions and presumably not much longer, or the same length as, ShiUYu. They also should come out before the end of Hanayui Chapter, or else we'd be in a situation where their circumstances play a key role in their motivations and actions at the climax of Hanayui Chapter but they don't actually show their motivations and circumstances in detail before it's over.

There's also the issue of Suzume and Akamine/Renge's birthdays. If they're out of the YuYuYui world before July and October then we'll have a situation where there's two girls who didn't have a single proper birthday event, which would royally shaft them and their fans. It is true that the Hanayui Chapter timeline is ahead of the monthly events, but there's no sign of winter clothing in the latest chapters and there's no need for them to wrap things up in June or earlier, it'd make much more sense to pad things out and finish after at least July than finish the story and then play catch up with the events, since we know that the game is continuing past June.

>>2818266I'm just stating the facts anon. The game is continuing past June with a new story and new characters are being added, the circumstances of which imply that it'll carry on through October at least. Nothing else is set in stone, but it's all logical inferences.

>>2818247>The data miner says that the next chapter is coming out after all the expert stages have been released.I'm curious to know how he can be so sure about that. Did the devs upload a full release schedule in the game?

>>2819352/u/ archive is dead right now, but in his memorial book interview he said that he was against doing a sequel at first and only changed his mind when they floated the idea of making one half of the season WaSuYu and one half the sequel, partly because he liked the idea of making movies. When you combine that with everything in NoWaYu and what we know the original plans for S2 were, it's a sure thing.

>>2819580The main reason we haven't had any is because of the Live2D, it's not worth making Live2D models for other games' characters just for it and it'd look weird if they didn't have them. But Spyce does, there's nothing stopping them now.

>>2820366I want to punch the guy who chose to sideline the interactions between Karin and the Inubouzakis and push throwaway ships around Natsume, Mebuki, Sekka, Anzu and so on. Only YuuMimo as the flagship pair of the original cast was allowed to stay relevant.

>>2820403Honestly, I don't think it'd be quite as bad for Natsume, if she herself wasn't such a god awful and BORING character. Feels like one of those fucking harem protagonists who has girls throwing themselves at em for no real reason.

>>2820407Same with Mebuki as well for me, she somehow gets the entire team's panties wet by being basically Karin with more autism. But in Natsume's case in particular they come up with ships as a setup for jokes, not so much for genuine character development.

>>2820403>>2820442It's a cheap and easy tactic to try and shill specific characters to the audience. If they make the characters love them, then surely the fans will too. Except, it can easily have the opposite effect and often does. Second anon is right that Natsume is more for jokes, even if I think it goes a bit far with stuff like Tama getting cucked so often, but Mebuki is just shit. Takahiro will push the KuSoYus until he makes us like them.

>>2820452And not only Mebuki, the whole cast received random cross-connections to members of other teams that didn't appear to serve much purpose. I wonder if they did that with YuYuYui in mind to make the Kumeyus seem less isolated.

>Tou: Eh? Aah, yes! Exactly. Me with Yuuna-chan, and Koori-san with Takashima-san.>Sum: But your friendship is different from a relationship between a man and woman, isn't it?>Chi/Tou: Ugh...>Chi: Heh. Washio-san... You might be mature for your age, but you're still an elementary schooler...>Sum: Eh!?

>>2822531>Chi: Don't take this the wrong way! This doesn't mean! It doesn't mean... I like you or anything...>Wak: Yeah, I understand that, but... Damn, I can't hold it in anymore... Chikage...>Chi: Wai-... W-W-What do you think you're doing!? Don't just hug me all of a...If even this was able to revive, then the franchise can easily do it too

>>2822531> Tak: Hey, Tama-chan. What was that scandal involving Gun-chan you just mentioned?>Tam: Waagh! N-No idea! Tama doesn't know anything! Not even a tamagram's worth!I hope they reference this in future events, I want to see Takashima being jealous again.

>>2823509They learned how to separate the characters into smaller groups, each having a scene dedicated to them instead of cramming everyone in the hero club room and having everyone throw a line or two.I think that with the addition of the kumeyus they were forced to improve on how to manage such a large cast.

>>2823509Valentine's has always worked in that regard because it focuses on individual couples by nature. They generally learned to write more scenes with limited casts, but scenarios that require the whole team to be present such as the main story are still an absolute mess. And thanks to the huge batch of new girls the cases where characters or teams get cucked out of relevancy altogether have increased by a lot.

>>2823554It should be doable when the mobage will at the very least live through June.It makes me feel so old when I imagine that if Yuuna was in her second year of middle school back in 2014 when the franchise was launched, she'd now be just about done with high school and start university or wageslaving in spring.

>>2823816Suzume dies by extreme sky fear syndromeShizuku and SHIZUKU get killed by ScorpioYumiko suicides because people write mean stuff about her on the internetMebuki survives because she can wield 4 rifles at onceAya burns herself

>>2824643Sekka begins discussion on people voicing their opinions on who wants to stay and who wants to leave. Returning: KuMeYus minus Suzume, Utano and Mito, NoWaYus minus Chikage and Takashima, Gin, Natsume. Staying: Sekka, Sumi/Sonoko, all of the YuYuYus, Suzume, Chikage and Takashima. At the end the rebelling god himself appears

By staying, it doesn't mean forever, because Hinata says they physically can't do that since just upholding the internal world drains the shinju-sama of energy and while they can stay for a while, they can't do it forever. Also, some raise worries that taking too long to defeat the rebelling god might result in him making a comeback the way they did at the very beginning. So the groups are "stretch it out" and "do it properly".

>>2824657>By staying, it doesn't mean forever, because Hinata says they physically can't do that since just upholding the internal world drains the shinju-sama of energy and while they can stay for a while, they can't do it forever. Also, some raise worries that taking too long to defeat the rebelling god might result in him making a comeback the way they did at the very beginning. So the groups are "stretch it out" and "do it properly".This is shit and removes a bunch of weight from the decision, like they want to have their cake and be able to eat it for drama. They still have to leave either way, regardless of what happens. It'd be a lot more impactful decision with weight if they actually had to pick between this created world and the harsh reality. Even the PSVita game did it better with Sonoko's choice to the Hero Club. They've also suffered so little, if any, real notable setbacks once they got rolling with all the Heroes there, which takes away from the idea that the rebelling god could make a comeback easier. I knew they were gonna take the cheap route out of this. Sasuga Hackahiro.

>>2824657They also mentioned feeling more exhausted than usual after that one battle, where Akamine looked pretty knowingly on why that is so..The last few moments of the last scene, she means business now.

>>2824661No for people who know what awaits them, sometimes even a bit more time can mean a lot to them. And we know that regardless of the outcome of the rebellion, the Shinju is running out of power as shown in YnS and will eventually die and if they decided to stay they'd simply die with it not miraculously extend its life forever. It makes more sense this way.

>>2824661To a lot of the Yuushas, all the fun memories that they had in this world means a lot to them, and having to leave them all behind and simply go back is really saddening to them so they can't easily let go. The emotional aspect will still be there as the heroes accept reality and their fates and return to their world.

>>2824798>The rebelling god himself joins the fight.Looks like they'll have to decide quickly.I wounder if a Yuusha stays there, will they eventually lose their humanity and join the Taisha wheat in the "Shinju heaven."

>>2824909>Citizen G: Becoming a sacrifice is a much more efficient death than simply dying. We should try that sometime.Oikawa-san would fit right in with the Taisha.Also, it seems Sekka was keeping a diary, maybe it survived the see of flames.

On a scale of NoWaYu to KuMeYu, how strong would your urge to drop this series be if they let the yuushas find a way to leave with their memories intact and create an alternative timeline where everyone survives, which then becomes the new canon?

There are two things I don't get. One, if both sides agree that they should first try to find a way to keep their memories regardless of whether they end up staying or leaving, why not do just that? Decide on a deadline, see if you can find a deus ex machina that changes the situation, and then vote again.And two, why did Mebuki vote return? It's like she's just being a dick to the girls who have much more on the line, especially when her Shizuku orbiter makes her vote count double.

>>2825127That's what they were going to do, but the heavenly god attacked.And Mebuki is the utilitarian type and thinks that their duty takes priority, plus she hasn't been there for long so she hasn't gotten as close to the others.

>>2825130>Because the rebelling god might make a comeback if they take too long to figure out something about the memories.That would seem like a more credible threat if the yuushas hadn't been literally steamrolling almost everything so far with no significant setbacks.

>>2825130When they take too long yes, but Gin and Wakaba (and the other returners by proxy) agreed that there is no need for immediate action. But like the other guy said, now that the god is trying to reenact the S2 finale the vote is obsolete anyway.
